Once again this year, BJC employees’ children came together for the annual Adventures in HealthCare Camp. Camps were held July 10-14 at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Christian Hospital, Missouri Baptist Medical Center and St. Louis Children’s Hospital. The campers spent the week exploring a variety of careers, touring multiple departments and participating in many interactive career-related activities.

“I realized from this camp that health care was an interesting and exciting field,” says Katie. “The camp taught me about all the different professions and what they involved, which is something I probably wouldn’t have learned on my own until much later in life.”
